Chapter 191 EDG was beaten by Europe’s second seed?
The next day, the match between WE and SSG is about to begin.

At noon, the EDG team finished their meal and were resting in the training room.

“Knock knock knock~” There was a knock on the door.

Abu walked to the door and opened it, only to see Hongmi and the WE team walking in.

Hongmi greeted, “Manager Abu.”

“Coach Hongmi, what’s up?”

Hongmi glanced at the WE players behind him and said, “They wanted to come over and take a look. They said they wanted to get some benefits from the No. 1 seed and exchange their views on this competition.”

Abu smiled and made a gesture of invitation: “Please feel free to come in. We just finished our meal and are taking a break.”

So the supports looked for supports, the junglers looked for junglers, and 957 went straight to Su Mo: “Brother Mozi, do you think the top laner of SSG is pretty strong? I think he’s stronger than Khan, even though Khan is the king of solo kills.”

Su Mo replied: “About the same. Cuvve seems to have a better mentality and is more comprehensive. Khan’s mentality is not good. He is stronger in laning, but not as good as Cuvve in teamfighting and support.”

957’s eyes lit up: “I thought so too. I watched their match. Although Cuvve was not as impressive, I felt that he was the big boss behind the scenes and was very difficult to deal with.”

Hearing this, Kangdi laughed: “Brother Tui, you’re already scared before the game even starts. Their top laner is so strong, how could they lose to RNG? Who’s the top laner of RNG? Letme!”

957 was a little speechless: “You can’t count it that way. SSG’s loss to RNG wasn’t his top lane problem. This was a game for five people.”

Kangdi waved his hand: “Forget it, I think SSG is just so-so…”

Suddenly he seemed to remember something and looked at Su Mo: “Hey, Brother Mozi, you were the one who said that SSG is very strong, stronger than Longzhu and SKT, right?”

Su Mo replied: “It’s me, what’s the problem?”

Kangdi smiled and said, “I think your prediction is not right. Just wait and see if we can win 3-0 today. At most, we can win 3-1. At most, we can let them win one game.”

Su Mo smiled.

The WE members left quickly, as if they were just here to have fun.

It was afternoon, and Abu said, “The match between WE and SSG is about to start. Should we watch their match or continue training?”

The factory manager muttered: “I don’t think it’s necessary to watch. We are not in the same zone as them, and SSG will most likely be beaten by WE.”

Abu said: “Then continue training.”

Everyone continued to train, while Su Mo watched the rhythm in the forum:
“WE vs. SSG, isn’t that easy?”

“It would be a success if SSG could win one game.”

“Brothers! It seems that we have secured a place in the finals. WE beat SSG, RNG beat FNC.”

Many people are now discussing whether there is a possibility that the LPL will meet in the finals.

If WE and RNG advance to a final, which is quite likely, as long as EDG can beat Longzhu, of course, for a team like MSF, it is assumed that EDG can easily beat it.

Then outrageous things happened, and now the pressure is on EDG!

“As long as EDG wins Dragon Ball, the championship is a sure thing.”

“If EDG can’t beat Longzhu, and let Longzhu in, and they end up being defeated by Longzhu, that’s also EDG’s problem.”

“That’s right, EDG is the number one seed, and if the number one seed doesn’t perform well, they will definitely be blamed.”

“From this perspective, as long as EDG doesn’t let down the team, LPL will realize its dream.”

Su Mo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry after seeing these comments. These people were too optimistic.

An hour later, after the teammates finished their first practice match, Meiko suddenly shouted, “Ah? WE lost? WE lost the first game to SSG! And they were beaten by a huge score!”

“That’s impossible.” The factory manager looked at Su Mo. He thought Su Mo might have seen it, after all, Su Mo had no training.

Su Mo spread his hands: “I don’t know, I didn’t see it.”

Abu called out, “Don’t worry about them for now, they probably didn’t perform well, let’s practice ours first.”

At this time, someone sent a message in the LPL expedition group, and Su Mo clicked it to take a look.

RNG, UZI: “What the hell is WE doing with their airplanes? Can they be beaten by SSG? I am really impressed.”

RNG, Letme: “Watching you guys play makes my blood pressure go up.”

Seeing Letme coming out to show off, Su Mo didn’t know what to say. SSG’s performance in the group stage deceived too many people.

WE, Xiye: “Don’t worry, it’s just the first game, let’s test the waters, we’ll start to work hard in the second game.”

So an hour later, bad news came again, the score was zero to two!

Now everyone in EDG was upset. The factory manager said, “What’s going on with WE? Can’t they win a single game against SSG? It can’t be that serious.”

Meiko speculated: “Maybe they underestimated the opponent. No matter how bad SSG is, they are still the third seed of LCK. They can’t be completely without any skills.”

There was movement in the LPL expedition group again.

EDG, Clearlove7: “We are in practice, not watching the game. What’s the situation with WE? I don’t think they can beat us.”

RNG, Letme: “Don’t mention it. This game made me sick. The opponent kept playing tricks on me and I couldn’t find any opportunities.”

RNG, UZI: “This is such a shame, being beaten like this by SSG.”

WE, 957: “It’s so annoying. I just feel it’s so weird. I thought it was easy to win, but the more I play, the more I feel it’s not right.”

EDG, Meiko: “Do you think SSG are too bad? They are not that bad.”

Soon, the third game began and EDG’s training match was over. Everyone couldn’t wait to turn on the live broadcast to see what was going on.

The game just started and the lineup looked fine, and the laning and early stages were fine.

The laning abilities of these three lines of SSG seem to be average.

However, as the game entered the mid-game, SSG began to operate, switch lanes, and WE continued to lose defensive towers.

“Ah? Aren’t we being made a fool of ourselves?” the factory manager exclaimed.

Meiko said: “Don’t you think there’s something wrong with SSG’s top laner? He plays Shen and is so strong in the solo lane. Brother Tui is no match for him at all.”

Therefore, the EDG players could only watch as WE was killed step by step and finally lost the game.

In this way, SSG defeated WE 3-0, which was a super upset!
Although they are both number three seeds, the outside world has always felt that WE will win for sure. But now they can’t even win a single game. Isn’t this a huge upset?
The LPL expedition group became lively.

RNG, UZI: “Don’t be mad at me, it’s hard to beat SSG like this, eh.”

RNG, Letme: “At least we won a game, brother. I’m really impressed.”

WE, 957: “I’m sorry, everyone. I’m really sorry for bringing shame to you.”

Now WE fans are in despair, mainly because the hope they had given them before the game was too great and the contrast is too great to accept.

However, for LPL fans, it’s just okay.

After all, there is RNG. It is a consensus that SSG cannot beat RNG.

Therefore, the one that really needs to worry is EDG.

The EDG members went out to eat together, and an awkward thing happened: on the way back from dinner, they ran into the WE members.

At this time, the morale of WE was low, which was completely different from the state when they came to find EDG today.

Coach Hongmi said with a bit of embarrassment: “Manager Abu, everyone from EDG, I’m sorry to have embarrassed you. We lost so badly.”

Abu responded: “It seems that we have underestimated SSG. After entering the knockout stage, they gave people a completely different feeling, as if they had transformed.”

Hongmi analyzed: “I think it’s because they have a strong learning ability and quickly adapted to this version and found their own version answer. In short, if other teams meet them in the future, they should be careful.”

Abu nodded: “Well, I hope RNG can realize this problem.”

957 suddenly found Su Mo and said, “Brother Mozi! I suddenly realized that you seem to be the only one who has been optimistic about SSG. I think I remember correctly that you said SSG was strong a long time ago, but no one believed it at that time.” Su Mo replied, “It seems to be the case.”

957 sighed and said, “Oh! Why didn’t I believe you earlier? We didn’t think SSG was that strong before the game. We thought they were stable. What a pity!”

Su Mo didn’t know what to say.

He noticed Kangdi, who was hiding at the back of the WE group. When he saw him looking over, he simply hid himself so that Su Mo wouldn’t see him. It seemed that he was too ashamed to face Su Mo.

Abu called out, “Then Coach Hongmi, we have something else to do so we will leave first.”

Hongmi nodded: “Well, whether the LPL championship can be won depends on you and RNG. I’m sorry that I can’t help much.”

957 took Su Mo’s hand and said, “Brother Mozi! You must defeat Longzhu. If RNG defeats SSG, then our region will surely win the championship.”

Su Mo replied: “Not necessarily.”

The factory manager finally caught the opportunity to show off, and he came over and said, “Brother Tui, don’t worry, we will get it done, just go ahead and relax.”

“Okay…ah? What does ‘just go there with peace of mind’ mean?” 957 was shocked.

“What I mean is… you guys just go and have your meal with peace of mind, and leave the game matters to us EDG,” the factory manager explained.

“I can rest assured that.”

Su Mo was not surprised by the reaction of the WE team. In fact, teams from the same region would prosper together and suffer together in the S League.

If a region fails to win a championship for a long time, the popularity of the region will decline, the income of all clubs and players will be affected, and there may even be a risk of dissolution.

Therefore, during the S game, all teams in the same region will act in unison, except for very few special cases.

Nothing happened overnight, and it was the third day of the quarterfinals.

At noon, the EDG team ate something to fill their stomachs, took a short rest, and then got in the car and headed straight to the game venue.

In the car, everyone was talking and laughing.

The factory manager is discussing with Abu how to fight Dragon Ball in the next stage.

Meiko was discussing yesterday’s match between SSG and WE with Zet.

No one cares about MSF.

Suddenly, A Guang came over and said, “Brother Mozi.”

“Yeah.” Su Mo nodded. A Guang stopped talking, as if he had something to hide.

“explain.”

“Um…can you let me go up and try this MSF?” A Guang said in a low voice.

This was something Su Mo had not expected: “You have already played three games, so why do you want to show off so much?”

Ah Guang muttered, “I was thinking about the subsequent matches. I definitely won’t be in the competition. I also want to experience the feeling of the elimination round. I have to do it sooner rather than later. In the subsequent matches, I will be the cheerleader, cheering for you guys.”

“Okay.” Su Mo agreed immediately.

“Really? Thank you! Brother Mozi, you are really my brother!” A Guang smiled happily.

Soon, everyone arrived at the competition venue, entered the stadium, and went straight to the lounge.

In the lounge, everyone put down their things and waited for the game to begin.

Suddenly, A Guang summoned up the courage to say, “Brother Bu, can I play in the first game?”

Others looked over.

The factory manager joked: “What’s going on? A championship won by doing nothing is not good enough. A championship won by doing everything yourself is a championship?”

Ah Guang responded, “I have discussed this with Brother Mozi, and he supports me… Anyway, the opponent is not very strong, so I can win if I go up.”

Abu glanced at Su Mo and began to think that he would definitely not be willing to do this because it would involve risks, although the risks were small.

But, A Guang said that Su Mo supported him, maybe this is what Su Mo meant.

Ed Zhu had instructed that Su Mo should be served well. In this case…

“Just go ahead and play your best and don’t let down your team.” Abu compromised.

“No problem! Go all out and fight through fire and water!” A Guang was overjoyed.

After a while, Abu called out, “It’s almost time, everyone. Let’s go on stage.”

All EDG players left the lounge and went on stage!
Su Mo was playing with his mobile phone when he saw some news in the LPL expedition group.

RNG, UZI: “EDG will win today. It’s a bit exaggerated to lose to a team like MSF.”

RNG, Letme: “I originally firmly believed in EDG, but after seeing WE being swept by SSG yesterday, I am not so sure now.”

Right now, RNG players are the most active and have the least pressure.

Because their next two opponents, FNC and SSG, are both default winners.

If they can’t beat Longzhu in the finals, it’s because EDG put Longzhu in, and EDG will take the blame.

In short, RNG now has three-dimensional defense and will never lose.

The first game started, the BP ended, and MSF brought out a combination of a cannon and a Japanese girl in the bottom lane.

Entering the game screen, the director gave the talent information of the ten players on both sides.

The Japanese woman brought a war enthusiasm.

At first, no one thought it had any effect, and some even thought it was a mistake.

It wasn’t until EDG’s bottom lane was killed consecutively that everyone realized the seriousness of the situation.

This scene directly ignited the competition!

“What is EDG doing? Learning from WE to create unexpected surprises?”

“I can barely accept WE losing to SSG, but EDG is going to lose to the European and American bastards?”

“Who said this is the last year of hope for LPL? Isn’t this the darkest year?”

“It’s over. This familiar feeling seems to be the script from last year.”

After a while, the game entered garbage time. EDG was doomed to lose and was just waiting for MSF to finish the push.

Now the LPL expedition group is bustling with activity:

RNG, UZI: “Ah? What’s going on, guys? We were beaten by a European No. 2 seed?”

RNG, Ming: “Is the bottom lane in bad shape? Why is this happening?”

RNG, Letme: “You guys don’t want to go down the same path as WE.”

Abu, who was watching the game, was so angry that his nose was crooked:

“What is the bottom lane doing? What the hell is the bottom lane playing?”

“They didn’t have the strength to fight back at all. They were both pissed off.”

Soon, the door of the lounge was pushed open and the factory director walked in with a grim look on his face.

A Guang followed behind without daring to make a sound, but the outcome of this game had little to do with him, so he didn’t need to be afraid.

Meiko and Zet were walking at the back and still talking.

Abu took a deep breath, calmed his anger, and said in a calm tone:
“What’s going on? Why were they beaten by a team like MSF?”
